Please use the existing ktime_t functions for that purpose. The ktime_t
format has nanosecond resolution and is optimized for 32/64bit machines.

Please get rid of this wrapper and use the ktime based functions for
that.

Please use ktime_t for total.

monotonic time is monotonic increasing. So delta is always >= 0 !
